The 'Faceless Angel' once again made a large donation to Jeonju City, for the 16th year in running!
The anonymous donor, who is suspected to be a man in his 40s or 50s, based on his voice on the phone, has been donating annually since 2000.
Jeonju City's Nosong-dong Community Service Center revealed Wednesday, "This morning around 10am, a man who sounds to be in his 40s or 50s called us and told of his donation."
According to a community service center employee, the man had instructed him, "I left the money in the forest located near the street lights at the back of the community service center so take it and use it for children who come from impoverished backgrounds."
When the employee ran out to the spot behind the community center, he found a box there just like the man had said.

The box contained bills and coins adding up to a total of 5,339,810 KRW (~$4,534 USD), which is around the same amount of 5,304,390 KRW (~$4,504 USD) that the man had donated last year. The money came with a memo that read, "Please use the money on needy families and have a happy New Year."
Based on the location and method of the donation and the voice of the donor, people are assuming that the man is the same 'Faceless Angel' who, without fail, has made a donation every single year for the past 15 years.
With this year's donation, the total amount that the 'Faceless Angel' gave adds up to 447,641,560 KRW (~$380,155 USD).
